Who do you plan on having in the room during delivery?

Just DH....my mom doesn't want to be there (we see each other every day, but she is too emotional)

Just DH and the proper medical professionals. Everyone else can wait for eternity in the waiting room until I'm good and ready to see them. And if they don't like it they can go suck it.

Same here just SO!

Just DH. My mom and I are very close, but I want this to be a special time for DH and I only.

This.... and I do not want his mom to be upset that she is not welcome. Someone told me the other day not to feel bad. No one else was there when we made her, so no one else should be there when we birth her

I dont mind my DH, my mother, or my MIL to be around during labor. But I would like it just to be DH when I deliver. I know I won't care at that point, but that image is something I don't want my MIL to see, lol. I would also like a little time to bond with the baby right after delivery.

My mom, sister in law and baby daddy (granted that hes been on his best behavior and has been nice to me lately)

Planning to just have DH in there....but our parents can come for labor time if they want to be there for support. I'd like my mom to be in there too...but I really want that moment with just he and I meeting our baby for the first time and think that will be very special

Just my DH and my doula. Last time my mom was there too and I totally regretted inviting her. DH was mad about it too because she took the liberty to call his parents when DS was born to tell them the news instead of letting him do it himself. Fortunately she can't come this time because she will be taking care of DS.

IMO, no matter who else really wants to be there, it is ultimately your decision. I mean, it is your body that will be exposed. I can understand your DH wanting it to be only you and he but if you would be more comfortable with your mother as well, you should have her. From everything I've read, labor is easier when you feel fully supported. For me personally, I only want DH in the room with me when it comes time to deliver. During labor and after everything is all cleaned up, I don't mind others but I don't really want a crowd during the actual delivery.

DH and my mom. They have different strengths and depending on where I am at in the stages of labor, I may respond better to one than the other. But I was thinking today about having DH bring his swim trunks so if I go in the tub he can come in with me. He'll also be the one helping me with squats, etc. But my mom has had 5 kids w/o meds so she is basically like my "doula" :)I have made it clear no one else is allowed in during labor and decided I don't want visitors anytime soon after the birth either.
